Embedding a power modification component such as a capacitance inside of an adaptor board located to extend over and beyond the vias of the main circuit board so that a portion of the interposer board containing the embedded capacitance is located beyond where the vias or blinds are located. This permits that via to conduct through the opening. In this way, the capacitance and the resistance will have a closer contact point to the electrical component. A resistance can also be embedded in an opening in the adaptor board and be vertically aligned within the opening to make contact with a pad on top of the adaptor board and a pad at the bottom of the adaptor board so that electricity conducts through the embedded component.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An apparatus for improved power distribution or power dissipation to an electrical component attached to a main circuit board, comprising: one or more power modification components embedded inside of at least one adaptor board between vias of said adaptor board, said one or more power modification components having terminals in electrical contact with a pad of said adaptor board, said pad having defined an anisotropic conductive elastomer thereon so that electricity conducts through said one or more power modification components to place said one or more power modification components close to said electrical component to reduce an electrical length between the one or more power modification components and said electrical component thereby reducing inductance, said pad defined anisotropic conductive elastomer is with a compression stop; said adaptor board being sandwiched between an electrical component and the main circuit board and said adaptor board being connected or attached to the main circuit board; said one or more embedded components being located so as to extend over and beyond the vias or blind vias of said main circuit board so that a portion of the adaptor board containing the embedded power modification component is located beyond where the vias or blind vias are located to permit that via to conduct through the opening so that said power modification component is at a closer contact point to said electrical component thereby increasing power distribution or power dissipation, respectively.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said power modification component is a capacitor.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said power modification is a resistor.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a conductive elastomer provides an electrical connection between said adaptor board and said main circuit board wherein said elastomer is located on at least one surface of said main circuit board.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said pad defined anisotropic elastomer provides an electrical connection between said adaptor board and said main circuit board.
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said adaptor board which is embedded with said one or more power modification components is soldered to the main circuit board.
7. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said adaptor board is a multilayer board.
8. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said adaptor board is a two sided pc board.
